i am using suse 10.1 and i am installing the lasted driver off the NVIDIA site NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run i change the run level to 3 and use the
"sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run" i comes up with the licence agrement i agree amd the driver begins to install then it comes up with this message

no matching precompiled interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp sit; this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for your kernel

after that it comes up with another error.

The kernel header '/lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-default/build/inculde/linux/kernel.h' does not exist.

another thing that might help

package kernel-source is not installed

does this mean no one has a answer or was the question poorly written?

you've answered your own question, "sources not installed" you will also need "kernel-syms"

okay im really going to sound dump but when i ask that question i dont know how to do it. and your answer does not help me im sorry it may be easyier to pretend that i dont know anything about linux (im not joking)

oh i dont know what package kernel-source is

start yast, go to the software section and search for "kernel" you'll se many different selections, but you only need the packages "kernel-source" and "kernel-syms".

2.6.16.13-4-default should have a source as well Do a search in yast for kernel and you will see it. Just install. Some Distro's use a "stripped" source. Do not install that one. Will not work with Nvidia driver. Hope this helps

iv searched for those programs and its not coming up

I've searched for you and found this http://www.novell.com/products/linux...el-source.html
I looks like the location of the files it needs are in a different location. My file is actualy in I am running PcLinuxOS though. What type of card are you trying to setup? Have you looked in Yast for an updated Nvidia driver?
